history
The first written mention of today's Pogorzela comes from the year 1419. In the 19th century the town had town rights ; in 1458 the city had to face four warriors. From the 15th century until 1658 the town was owned by the Pogorzelski family . A school was established in the 16th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the brewery and distillery were important economic factors for Pogorzela. Probably the wooden town hall burned down in 1775. In 1785 a late Gothic church was built.
In 1793, during the second partition of Poland-Lithuania , the city became part of Prussia . Its owner at this time was Nikolaus von Taczanowski; At the end of the 18th century, four landlords shared their property. In 1807 the place became part of the Duchy of Warsaw , in 1815 the place fell back to Prussia and became part of the Krotoschin district , from 1887 of the Koschmin district . Today's town hall was built in 1856 and a neo-Gothic Protestant church in 1862 . On January 4, 1887, a fire department was set up in the city. From 1906 to 1907 there was a school strike, similar to the Wreschen school strike , when religious instruction was to be held in German.
After the end of the First World War , Porgozela had to be ceded to the Second Polish Republic due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in 1920 . In September 1939 Pogorzela was occupied by the German Wehrmacht during the attack on Poland , then renamed Pogorschella and on May 18, 1943 Brandenstein . In the spring of 1945 the Red Army occupied . In the following period, the members of the German minority were expelled from Pogorzela by the local Polish administrative authority .
